Instructions

  1. Prep the Crispy Beef

    Pat the thinly sliced beef completely dry with paper towels. This is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness. Place cornstarch in a shallow bowl and lightly coat each piece of beef, shaking off excess.

  2. Fry the Beef

    Heat oil in a large pot or wok to 350°F (175°C). Working in batches to avoid crowding, fry the beef for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season lightly with salt while hot.

  3. Make the Flavor Base (Tare)

    In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, Scorpion Gourmet Original Hot Sauce (start with 2 tbsp), grated ginger, and minced garlic. This concentrated mixture will be the soul of your broth.

  4. Prepare Broth and Noodles

    In a separate pot, gently heat the broth until hot but not boiling. Cook ramen noodles according to package directions, then drain and divide among four large bowls.

  5. Assemble the Ramen

    Divide the Tare mixture equally among the four bowls, placing it at the bottom. Pour the hot broth over the Tare – it will instantly create a beautifully flavored soup. Arrange the cooked noodles in the broth.

  6. Add Toppings

    Artfully arrange the crispy beef, soft-boiled egg halves, scallions, corn, nori strips, and bamboo shoots over the noodles. Serve immediately while the beef is still crispy and the broth is piping hot!

Pro Tips

  • Ultra-Thin Slices: Partially freeze the beef for 30 minutes before slicing – it makes cutting much easier.
  • Heat Control: Taste your Tare mixture before adding to the bowls. Start with 2 tablespoons of Scorpion sauce and add more if you want extra heat.
  • Perfect Eggs: Cook soft-boiled eggs ahead of time: boil for 6-7 minutes, then plunge into ice water for easy peeling and perfect runny yolks.

Flavor Variations

  • Crispy Chili-Chicken Ramen: Substitute beef with thinly sliced chicken breast. Coat and fry the same way for a lighter protein option.
  • Spicy Miso Vegetable Ramen: Use vegetable broth and crispy tofu or sautéed shiitake mushrooms instead of beef for a fantastic vegetarian version.
  • Scorpion Dipping Noodles (Tsukemen): Serve the noodles, crispy beef, and toppings separately from a concentrated dipping sauce made by reducing the broth with an extra tablespoon of Scorpion hot sauce.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this ramen immediately in large, deep bowls with chopsticks and Asian soup spoons. The experience is best when the beef is still crispy and the broth is steaming hot. For a fun interactive meal, set up a topping bar with additional options like bean sprouts, sesame seeds, fresh chili slices, and extra Scorpion hot sauce for those who want to turn up the heat even more. Pair with a crisp Japanese lager like Sapporo or Asahi to cool the palate between spicy bites.
